She is suffering from this disease for the last three years but it was stable but now it appears to have been increases.As the physician are consulting online which is the remedy because until CT Scan is not taken nonon can judge the condition. In India before migrating to Australia she was quite active and was doing the domestic affairs and can walk now her breathing problem has been increased which is due to change of climate. Please guide me I shall pay the legal charges on solving the problem.
